- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its financial reserves. It has access to an overdraft facility if needed although this has never been used. Public sector revenue streams were enhanced in 2024/25 via the medium term UKSPF funded contracts secured. Private sector income, specifically commercial event income was affected at as the crisis in the cost of doing business and inflationary pressures endured across the financial year. These indicate sufficient trading activity, resources and liquidity.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
